We're dealing with an article about a Billie Eilish song; after months away from FAC, I am back. This song is quite a personal one to Eilish, as it deals with the teeny details of a friend's car accident -- this caused a traffic that Eilish found herself stuck in, twisting the knife further -- and her reactions as the events unfolded. Ready for any and all comments. ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ ‍ πŸ’¬ "Will you call me?"

Oppose: should be merged into Guitar Songs along with the only other song on that EP, "TV".β€”indopug (talk) 08:11, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Indopug, respectfully, I greatly disagree with this assessment; I invite you to take a good, hard look at WP:NSONG and to continue this discussion in Talk:Guitar Songs because this is way outside the purview of a FAC. ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ ‍ πŸ’¬ "Will you call me?"

From NSONGS, "If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created" β€” skimming the titles of the references used here, all the coverage of "The 30th" seems to be alongside "TV", in the context of Guitar Songs.
Also the three articles are pretty short at ~1500 words each, and many of these words are repetitions of each other. You can easily combine all that info into one comprehensive EP article, which will still probably be only ~3000 words long at mostβ€”still very short.β€”indopug (talk) 15:42, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Indopug, that is why I invited you to a discussion in the Guitar songs talk page, because I dissect precisely everything you mentioned right here. ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ ‍ πŸ’¬ "Will you call me?"
